Its kind of scary...the frequent earthquakes in cali. I remember this was one of the things my husband mentioned saying hopefully I am not afraid of them...yeah right! Last tremour I felt killed thousands in India and bordering villages in pakistan. Stay safe Jen.

Rajaa if you've got all the documents, inshaAllaah the whole process at NVC should not take longer than a month. Please ask Reda to send you filled forms too like DS-3032 and DS-230.

Attached are the files uploaded by LOTO. Great fellow...very nice work done.

Rajaa, Just an item of note. You do not need him to send you anything for the DS-3032. When it is time, he just needs to send an email to the NVC in the format given for the email.

Thank you thank you thank you now I just have to figure a way for him to sign it get the right size photos and back to me...

thanks Steve... but I do need to send in the 2X2 pics of him passport style and his biographic page or does he keep all of that (those are the only two things missing I don't have) and a signed I230

i feel tiny quakes here all the time but i just pretend it's a big truck passing by the house..

yup, you submit those with the DS-230 when the time comes. remember, part 1 needs to be signed by Reda and part 2 he leaves unsigned. Sara just posted Loto's shortcuts.. it's been a great help! too bad he can't make NVC accept my DS-3032 right now!

but IF you really want him here fast, and the k3 is approved as well, then just go with K3. you don't have to turn in anything, i believe. all the stuff that needs to be turn in you give to Reda to take with him to the interview.. something like that.. waaaah! bad advise! haha!

That's what I am wondering.. I have his police certificate, translated and stamped as well as his birth certificate do I need to send them back?

before i got the IIN, the AVR just kept repeating that they entered it into their system on July 25, please wait 6-8 weeks for the beneficiary.. blah blah blah.. didn't say anything about sending the AOS fee, generating any DS-3032.

as soon as i got my IIN, i immediately logged into the payment website.. Payment status for the AOS fee stated that it was invoiced so i went ahead and paid.. after that, status changed from INVOICED to IN PROCESS.

the IV fee status is of course, NOT INVOICED at this time..

so, i gave it 4 hours before i called NVC again to listen to the AVR. now it says that they received the AOS fee bill on July 30 and they will send further instructions within the next few weeks..

That's great, Now, when your AOS shows paid online, you will be able to print the barcode page and send in the AOS package.

Then sometime next week, your husband should receive an email saying they accepted the DS-3032.

A few days after that they will invoice your IV bill, and you can pay that. After it shows paid, you can print the barcode page and send in the DS-230 package. And about a week later, you should have case complete.

My prediction, you could have "Case Complete" the week of August 25th. Then the first week of September they can schedule your husband for an October interview.

august 25th.. nice dream!!

i won't even be back to the states until the 27th! so far, i have emailed the DS-3032 about 5x already. i haven't received any automated response. should i? still says IN PROCESS but then the west coast just woke up.. maybe the bank isn't even opened yet.. i don't know. just making myself feel better! hehe.. i hope by friday i can send the AOS package..

by next week, the NBI clearance and his extra birth certificate will be ready. i will be there in the philippines already so i will just fedex it here to my sister.. she can then pay the IV fee online IF everything goes as planned!!

steve, thank you so much!! valuable valuable advices!

BUT HOW COME I HAVEN'T RECEIVED AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE?? AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?? (just letting off some steam

No, if you are planning the CR1 path. Keep those documents. Just have him fill out the DS-230, have him sign the part 1. Then have him send you the DS-230 with passport photos. And a photocopy of his passport bio page. I assume you also have the marriage certificate. Then you will send all of that in when it is time.

don't do anything yet.. if you are going to pursue CR1, then hold on to them, if K3, then send them back as you don't need them.. HE DOES

waaah! steve beat me to answering! now i look like a dork! just kidding!

I WANT MY AUTOMATED RESPONSE, DANGIT!

[nunyab 0]

Perfect Steve that's what I needed to know. I just sent him the DS230 with the instructions not to sign the bottom of page four section II... and he needs to send me the passport photos. Yes I am Interested in the CR1 route. and yes I do have the marriage certificate as well. So i'll have him send me those things ... OY why am I stressing soooooo lol.

Jenn I am the same way about earthquakes... I call in Earthquake Denial... I always think they're big trucks until things start falling of the walls and shelfs than I saw "Hummmmm was that an earth quake?" lol

yesterday i just said to myself that some really big truck is passing, then when it wouldn't stop shaking and rolling, i started getting nauseated and decided it was indeed a REAL earthquake!

i live on top of the San Andreas fault. in fact, if you drive by the 14 freeway, you can actually see the faultline. you pass through it.. weird, i know.. but for somebody who lives on top of the San Andreas fault, you would think that we would have some huge earthquakes, but we actually don't. most of the big earthquakes felt are farther out. but last big one i heard was back in 1999 in the Mojave desert. 7.1 i think. i don't remember that. where the heck was i?

Jenn, You do not need to send anything to your sister, that will just take extra time and wasted steps. You can pay online from PI. You just need your bank account# and routing #. Then if you have all of the documents for the DS-230 with you, you can just send it in to the NVC from PI, no need to have your sister pay and send things for you.

I do not know, why you are not getting the auto response. I know I have read about this issue, but do not remember what was said, Sorry.

Thanks you two I sent him the list of three things I need him to do.... hopefully i won't confuse him to much... I am going to check the Spainish consulate and ask to see if he can interview there... much better place than morocco but he doesn't speak Spanish just English, French and Arabic... not sure if that'll be a problem if he is in the U.S. consulate in Spain????

I got so used to them, I would just say "Oh, another earthquake".

A year ago, I moved to Seattle from San Francisco. We would get them all of the time, it was normal. In Fact, I was in San Francisco in 1989 when they had the big one there during the World Series. I had just came out of the shower, so I was standing there naked thinking what should I do. Do I stand there or run out of my apartment naked? I just sttod there.

As long as he speaks english, not a problem!

oh my gosh, DUH! of course i can send it in myself! i don't know why i kept thinking it has to come from my address over there.. my brain is soo tired.. thanks for pointing that out!

it is quite expensive to send it fedex though.. about $30 and it will take 3 days. it's not a P.O. box, is it? because if it is, then my sister has to send it USPS

i have read about the whole auto response too but nothing seems to solve my problem. you got an auto response, right?

Ya, I kind of wondered what you were thinking about sending things to your sister first, But I know how it is. Sooooooooo many things on your mind!!!!

And no, it is not a PO Box. I sent all of my stuff to the NVC via Fed EX.

Yes, I did get the auto response. But I would not send any more emails, it could confuse them.
